ABSTRACT

wherein ring A is a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle; ring C is a benzene ring or the like; R1 is halogen or the like; R2a and R2b are each independently hydrogen or the like; R3 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or the like; R4 is hydrogen or the like; and n is an integer of 1 to 3.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel compound having an antiviral effect. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polycyclic carbamoylpyridone derivative having HIV integrase inhibitory activity and a medicament, particularly, an anti-HIV drug including thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Among viruses, human immunodeficiency virus (hereinafter, abbreviated to HIV), one type of retrovirus, is known to cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (hereinafter, abbreviated to AIDS). Various guidelines currently recommend naive patients for a combination of an integrase inhibitor (dolutegravir, etc.) as a principal drug with two nucleic acid reverse transcriptase inhibitors (ABC+3TC, FTC+TAF, etc.) differing in resistance profile, as a therapeutic drug for AIDS. Because of strong efficacy and high safety, these combinations have a high satisfaction level as compared with initial therapeutic drugs. Meanwhile, the start of treatment upon detection of HIV infection is recommended owing to the emergence of such a safe drug and good prognosis. In addition, a medication period becomes long because people infected with HIV have an average life expectancy closer to that of healthy people. If adverse reactions of the nucleic acid reverse transcriptase inhibitors occur or once a resistant virus appears due to the long-term medication, there is no further convenient treatment method. Thus, there is a move afoot to leave the nucleic acid reverse transcriptase inhibitors unused. Hence, the establishment of two-drug treatment with two principal drugs is desired. Thus, the development of a principal drug that can be combined with the integrase inhibitor is desired. Furthermore, the development of a therapeutic drug with a longer medication interval, i.e., a long-acting injection with which treatment is completed merely by one injection at 1-month or longer intervals is desired for improving medication fatigue ascribable to the long-term medication and improving QOL (quality of life) of patients in such a way that the patients more enjoy daily life.

In order to meet such demands, an integrase inhibitor cabotegravir is under development as a long-acting injection at Ph3. Also, non-nucleic acid reverse transcriptase inhibitor rilpivirine is also under development as a long-acting injection. The establishment of a treatment method is being attempted using these two drugs. However, these drugs are injected once a month or two months and need to be injected at a total of 3 or 4 sites with pain. Hence, the development of a drug with which treatment is completed by one injection per 3 months with less pain at a lower dose is desired for further improving QOL of patients.

Raltegravir and elvitegravir as the first-generation oral agents and dolutegravir as the second-generation oral agent have already been launched as integrase inhibitors. When a naive patient uses dolutegravir, no resistant mutation appears. However, dolutegravir, when used in the treatment of a patient infected with a resistant virus to the first-generation integrase inhibitor, may be no longer effective due to the further addition of a resistant mutation. Hence, the development of an inhibitor having a higher resistance barrier than that of dolutegravir is also desired.

Bicyclic or higher polycyclic carbamoylpyridone derivatives are known as one of the anti-HIV drugs having an integrase inhibitory effect (Patent Documents 1 to 29). Among them, Patent Document 3 describes a carbamoylpyridotriazine derivative. However, none of the documents describe an optically active tricyclic or more polycyclic carbamoylpyridotriazine derivative which is the compound of the present application.

The degrees at which the amounts of respective metabolites produced were inhibited by the compound of the present invention were evaluated in commercially available pooled human liver microsomes by using the O-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (CYP1A2), the methyl-hydroxylation of tolbutamide (CYP2C9), 4′-hydroxylation of mephenytoin (CYP2C19), the O-demethylation of dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), and the hydroxylation of terfenadine (CYP3A4), which are the typical substrate metabolism reactions of five human major CYP molecular species (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4), as indexes. The reaction conditions were as follows: substrate, 0.5 μmol/L ethoxyresorufin (CYP1A2), 100 μmol/L tolbutamide (CYP2C9), 50 μmol/L S-mephenytoin (CYP2C19), 5 μmol/L dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), 1 μmol/L terfenadine (CYP3A4); reaction time, 15 minutes; reaction temperature, 37° C.; enzyme, pooled human liver microsome 0.2 mg protein/mL; concentration of the compound of the present invention, 1, 5, 10, 20 μmol/L (four points). Each five kinds of substrates, human liver microsomes, or the compound of the present invention in 50 mmol/L Hepes buffer were added to a 96-well plate at the composition as described above, and NADPH, as a coenzyme, was added to initiate metabolism reactions. After the incubation at 37° C. for 15 minutes, a methanol/acetonitrile=1/1 (V/V) solution was added to stop the reaction. After centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, resorufin (CYP1A2 metabolite) in the centrifugation supernatant was quantified using a fluorescence multilabel counter or LC/MS/MS, and tolbutamide hydroxide (CYP2C9 metabolite), mephenytoin 4′-hydroxide (CYP2C19 metabolite), dextrorphan (CYP2D6 metabolite), and terfenadine alcohol (CYP3A4 metabolite) in the centrifugation supernatants were quantified by LC/MS/MS. Only a solvent DMSO, which was used for dissolving the compound, was added to the reaction solution instead of the compound of the present invention, and the mixture was used as a control (100%). Remaining activity (%) was calculated, and IC₅₀ was calculated by inverse estimation based on a logistic model using the concentrations and the rates of suppression.

Test Example 4: CYP3A4 (MDZ) MBI Test

This test as to the inhibition of CYP3A4 by the compound of the present invention is to evaluate mechanism based inhibition (MBI) ability from enhancement in inhibitory effect, caused by a metabolism reaction, of the compound of the present invention. CYP3A4 inhibition was evaluated using pooled human liver microsomes by 1-hydroxylation reaction of midazolam (MDZ) as a marker reaction. The reaction conditions were as follows: substrate, 10 μmol/L MDZ; pre-reaction time, 0 or 30 minutes; substrate metabolic reaction time, 2 minutes; reaction temperature, 37° C.; protein content of pooled human liver microsomes, at pre-reaction 0.5 mg/mL, at reaction 0.05 mg/mL (at 10-fold dilution); concentrations of the compound of the present invention at pre-reaction, 1, 5, 10, 20 μmol/L (four points) or 0.83, 5, 10, 20 μmol/L (four points). Pooled human liver microsomes and a solution of the compound of the present invention in K-Pi buffer (pH 7.4) as a pre-reaction solution were added to a 96-well plate at the composition of the pre-reaction. A part of the pre-reaction solution was transferred to another 96-well plate, and 1/10 diluted by K-Pi buffer containing a substrate. NADPH as a coenzyme was added to initiate a reaction as a marker reaction (No pre-reaction: Preincubation 0 min). After a predetermined time of the reaction, a solution of methanol/acetonitrile=1/1 (V/V) was added to stop the reaction. In addition, NADPH was added to a remaining pre-reaction solution to initiate a pre-reaction (Pre-reaction was performed: Preincubation 30 min). After a predetermined time of the pre-reaction, a part was transferred to another plate, and 1/10 diluted by K-Pi buffer containing a substrate to initiate a reaction as a marker reaction. After a predetermined time of the reaction, a solution of methanol/acetonitrile=1/1 (V/V) was added to stop the reaction. After the plate in which each marker reaction was performed was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, 1-hydroxymidazolam in the supernatant was quantified by LC/MS/MS. The sample obtained by adding only DMSO that is a solvent dissolving a compound instead of the compound of the present invention to a reaction mixture is adopted as a control (100%). Remaining activity (%) is calculated at each concentration of the compound of the present invention compared to the control, and IC value is calculated by reverse-presumption by a logistic model using a concentration and an inhibition rate. A shifted IC value is calculated from IC of Preincubation 0 min/IC of Preincubation 30 min. Shifted IC of 1.5 or more is graded as positive (+), and shifted IC of 1.0 or less is graded as negative (−).
